I do think text looks better on the iTouch (using iBooks. Stanza hates me).
They may well.

Plucker under Palm OS 5 supports custom fonts, and I use a conversion of a font originally developed for Android as the default.

Mobi on Palm OS offers custom fonts, but their offering is so small as to be unreadable on my device. I use FonthackV for OS 5 to enable custom fonts by application, and use some serif fonts converted by MR contributor Alex Pruss's Font Converter in Mobi.

The iTouch uses a higher resolution screen and has better font support than something like the TX, so I suspect you'll find books will look better. The measures I mention above make things look good enough - I can read comfortably, and get a reasonable amount of wordage per screen.
